Many of your experiences sound so much like mine! I am not going to be paranoid anymore that racing thoughts are a bad thing. I will admit that in a very hypomanic state I have made some unwise choices due to overthinking (racing thoughts? not sure) Meanwhile, though, like others I find my racing thoughts to be a part of me. Thanks for the confirmation that I am not unlike others! I am not always the most organized person, but I believe my racing mind helps me to be very productive when necessary.
Thanks everyone!
